Loki is a surrealist, kafkaesque mashup of True Detective and The Office—and it is a sight to behold. ... The show should not work, but it does. Loki (the series) was burdened with glorious purpose from the start and, unlike Loki (the character), you can consider that purpose fulfilled. Read full review

As Loki, the aptly-named god of mischief, Tom Hiddleston returns in the role he was born to play. He and Owen Wilson, a deadpan delight as Agent Mobius, are Marvel's new dream team in a series that has it all. In a word, wow! Read full review

If there are any minor quibbles – a slightly hand-wavey explanation of some time travel rules, a couple of dodgy accents, some slightly low-key action scenes – they’re easily outweighed by the performances, world-building and general confidence of this series. Right now, it’s the best Marvel Disney Plus series so far. Read full review

Creator and screenwriter Michael Waldron and director Kate Herron have a ball with the multiverse and competing-timeline angles. While the show’s overall narrative apparently feeds into the forthcoming 2022 “Doctor Strange” sequel, which Waldron worked on, these first two episodes work on their own. Read full review

The overall vibe of “Loki” is, like “WandaVision,” more off the beaten Marvel path. Both the MCU as a whole and this individual series are the better for it. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

There’s little pretense to social satire here, so “Loki” is easier to get into the spirit of this than “WandaVision,” although I’m of the minority opinion that none of these Marvel small-screen spinoffs pack enough wit, action, pathos or what have you into them to justify “series length” treatment. But Loki and Hiddleston — in all their many colors — are fun enough to bring one back to the stream to catch each new episode to see what that “scamp” is up to now. Read full review

The Telegraph Tim Robey

Loki could well improve, now that its arduous task of educating us about multiverses, and glumly explaining Loki to himself, is with any luck behind it. Let’s hope so. The character deserves a lot more room to get frisky and freaky than these cramped openers carved out. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first season of Loki was amazing, an A+ season. The visuals effects were outstanding especially in the void. The acting was phenomenal especially from Owen Wilson, Tom Hiddleston, Sophia Di Martino, Richard E. Grant, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Tara Strong, Jonathan Majors, Wunmi Mosaku, Jack Veal, and Jaimie Alexander. The writing was excellent especially the story and the character Sylvie. The music was superb especially the open title. The sets especially the TVA were spectacular. The costumes, makeup, and hairstyling were exceptional especially on Owen Wilson, Tom Hiddleston, and Sophia Di Martino.… Expand

A truly entertaining show. It won me over with the humor, craziness, great characters and story. I will say a lot of the appeal comes from the awesome cast, ideas and performance.

It won me over with the humor, craziness, great characters and story. I will say a lot of the appeal comes from the awesome cast, ideas and performance. Lets start at the beginning: Since we watched Avengers Endgame we all speculated what Loki would do. There were a lot of theories and when the show was announced we were hyped. It fully delivers with the first episode and kept going strong during the whole show. However it is not perfect as I see a few weaknesses in the script and maybe a few plot holes (For the later I am not sure if I just over-analyzed some stuff). Story: Because of the meddling of the Avengers in Endgame with time travel a past version of Loki from the end of the first Avengers movie is on the run with the Tesseract. However his escape ended faster than he could imagine as he is approached by a group of uniformed people who came out of a portal. This is the start of a crazy enjoyable adventure. The story is full of ideas, fan service and great acting. It works well enough that I will ignore the few flaws it has. I don't mind these if the result is this entertaining and satisfying. Also the character development is truly convincing, believable and entertaining. Cast / actors: This is for me the greatest strength of the show. We have a great Tom Hiddleston as Loki. He is a charming scoundrel and so entertaining to watch. A really strong performance but the rest of the cast is equally good. Owen Wilson as Mobius is the yin to Loki’s yang. They work well together and their discussions and barters are excellent. A truly convincing performance. It ends not there as Sophie Di Martino almost steals the show. It is hard to chose which of the 3 characters is the best. Then we have Gugu Mbatha Raw as Ravonna Renslayer and Wunmi Moskau as hunter B-14 (yes that is her name). Both are intimidating and excellent. For the characters that appear lesser I want to especially praise Richard E. Grant and Jonathan Majors for their incredible performance. In total we got here an amazingly strong performance and there is nothing to criticize for me. Presentation: The show has an amazing style and there is a high production value. They put a lot of effort into the sets, special effects and design. On top of that there is so much fan service in form of references and easter eggs. This attention is praiseworthy and enhances the atmosphere. The soundtrack is sneakingly good (= You miss this if you don't pay attention). Humor: There is a lot of good humor in the show. Being it Loki being Loki, situational humor, absurdity or gadgets used for punishment (You will notice the scenes trhat I referrence here spoiler free ;-). The humor enhances the experiences too and is another big strength. Negatives: Like I mentioned there are a few scenes where the script could be a bit ironed out. For example in one episode they had to downgrade the character abilities but it resulted in an enjoyable episode with good character interactions and development. The conclusion was awesome on one hand but also a (very) small disappointment on the other. However I liked it enough to not decrease my rating. Overall I say this was an amazing show and I liked all episodes. Would fully recommend the whole show to friends. I say it is worth a 10/10 despite some flaws for the characters, humor, ideas and the heart and soul that was put into it.… Expand

Ultimately it wanted more than it could give. Despite an intriguing premise and pilot it feels like a rushed after thought. The characters feel like shadows . The plot unabashedly predictable with episodes failing at producing anything of worth. Even the cliff hangers weren't as defining asUltimately it wanted more than it could give. Despite an intriguing premise and pilot it feels like a rushed after thought. The characters feel like shadows . The plot unabashedly predictable with episodes failing at producing anything of worth. Even the cliff hangers weren't as defining as they thought they were. The set work felt abysmal. Loki feels like what happens when the ideas surpass tge feasibility. From sylvie killing a singular unguarded vulnerable man and setting off a multiversal war is just one of the plot hole conveniences. Tom Hiddleson's poor acting do little to rescue this sinking ship. I'm very dissapointed. A lot of good ideas were discarded.… Expand

Overrated as hell. Removes the concept of free will from Phases 1-3 making literally every action before then feel pointless because it was already planned out.
